The AU Developmental Stroke School will now offer a Fall and a
Winter/Spring session similar to the Swim School.
Our DEVELOPMENTAL STROKE SCHOOL is devoted to competitive stroke instruction
with an emphasis on balance in the water through specialized drills. It is not a beginner
or novice learn to swim program. Our Stroke School is an excellent supplement to
summer league programs or for anyone with a minimum time commitment.
This program is for 5 - 12 year olds.
If your child is under 7, they must be evaluated on the first day of class before confirming their spot in the program. Refunds are guaranteed if the program is not the right fit after the first class.
If you have any questions regarding class requirements please contact [email protected].
